The artists who built these replicas have paid great attention to detail.

You must all know that a few weeks back, Delhi became home to a new theme park, called the Waste To Wonder Park, which is built and managed by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation. The park holds life-like replicas of seven of the world's most famous monuments built using 150 tonnes of waste material. By building breathtaking replicas of historical monuments from across the globe, the park is not just giving city residents hard-to-come-by visual pleasure but also making efficacious use of scrapped junk. It is already becoming one of the hottest attractions in the city, drawing visitors from all corners. But, if you haven't got a chance to visit it yet, you can take a virtual tour by viewing these amazing pictures!

The architectural brilliance of the 'Waste To Wonder' theme park is palpable as soon as you enter its main entrance. The facade of the park is beautifully illuminated, topped by a small-canopy of the structures it holds.

The Waste To Wonders Park is managed by the Horticultural Department of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SMDC) and was inaugurated by the Union Minister Of Home Affairs, Shri Rajnath Singh on February 21 this year. Entry to the park for an adult costs Rs 50, but if you're a student, you'd have to shell out just half the amount i.e.Rs 25. The park is open between 11 AM and 11 PM every day, except on Mondays.

It is best to visit the park after dark as it is beautifully lit then. The light also illuminates the significant portions of each monument, such as the conical top of the Great Pyramid of Giza in the above picture.

The artists who built these replicas have paid great attention to detail while sculpting them. For example, the replica of The Leaning Tower Of Pisa is bent at angle of 86 degrees, an exact imitation of the original monument.

SMDC has also installed two info-boards juxtaposed along the site of each replica, one detailing information about the original monument and the other about its replica. These info-boards give visitors insight into what went into the making of these clones, including the material used, process and artists involved amongst other things.

Each monument installed at the park is worth a thousand pictures of Instagram. The replica of Taj Mahal especially has many admirers, both due to it's local affinity and striking beauty.
